You will now hear a modern times fairytale. It's not about Espen
Askeladd, but about the two idealistic ladies who went from Norway
to Zululand to improve the lives of the local children.

We can call them @Vetlamauri and @ZuluSilvia.

Most of you know that it all started with Vetlamauri going
for a safari to see the animals in Africa. There she did not meet
the Zulu king, but a Zulu samaritan named Aurelia.

Admittedly, coconuts and bananas grow in the trees, but the kids
are not cradled in a palm-tree hut and they have no talking
parrot as a nanny.

If they are sick, Doctor Rhino does not come with a walking
stick and hat and glasses. And they do not get cough syrup and
black little lozenges.

From here we go out of the fairytale and to everyday life. For
the Zulu children, life was sad and gray in 2005. Everyone was
hungry and many of them sick. The idea of ​​education
was completely remote. Then I think Mari clenched her red hair and
Silvia her blonde hair. How would they be able to help all these
children and their families?

They came up with a good idea! At home in Norway there were many
people with a big heart and an open wallet.

All the regular sponsors who contribute each month
have given the children full stomachs and healthy lives. Gifts
are ordered in the form of extra food, clothes and anything else
they need. This has turned their existence up side down, not just
for the kids but the whole family. (Thank you very much! You're the
spinal cord of Zulufadder!)

There are now many Zulufadder children who dream of an
education. Zulufadder manages
Gratton school, which is a fantastic private school from 1st to
10th grade (and extension to final 12th grade in 2019). Huge thanks
to SanaPharma who have built two boarding houses, this allows
the school to accommodate more students. SanaPharma has also
sponsored a great media room, built several classrooms and
refurbished the toilets.

Zulufadder has several kindergartens - "Doremi
kindergartens" - with about 150 children. They also run a
pre-school at Gratton. All of this is sponsored by SanaPharma. They
also sponsor the day care center, "The Hall", in Umlalazi. Here the
children get warm lunch every day. They also get help with the
homework and they sing songs and dance.

Zulufadder is so much more than Gratton and Doremi. It is thanks
to a great many different contributors. Here are many, many small
streams that make the big difference for so many children.

In the beautiful valley of Simunye the people have got a
very nice hall where they gather for different
activities.

Zulufadder also has
a sewing factory that makes the school uniforms to all children
every year. Here, several of the sponsor children have received
training and now have permanent work.

A total of 20 students attend university.
An education fund and sponsors who continue to pay
contributions make sure this is possible. The first student was
Given, who is a geologist, and the next is Minenhle who is becoming
a chemist!

I feel that I can continue indefinitely to mention things that
all of the sponsors have made possible:

Vegetable gardens, blankets, dictionaries, reading books, beach
trips, computers and tablets for children and employees, culture,
sports and job creation, bus and tractor - just to name a few.

Vetlamauri and Zulusilvia send you all a huge thank you. Or
"SIYABONGA" as it's called in Zulu. Without all of you, Zulufadder
would not have existed and the everyday of a thousand children and
their families would still have been gray and sad.

Ps!
Zulufadder has developed a new page called "My
Projects". On this page you will find pictures and information
about how your money has been spent!
